Janice enjoyed many activities including cross-stitch especially baby blankets when the grandchildren were born and playing cards. She loved to cook meals for her family but she especially loved to bake. She made some of the best rolls, breads and pies from scratch and proudly passed on her baking traditions by teaching her grandchildren. She found joy with her kids and grandkids 4H throughout the years. She also worked at the 4-H food stand during the county fair for 17 years. Janice was known to visit with anyone and everyone. She would make friends wherever she went. Over the last several years Janice loved to dance. Not much could keep her away from the Miller Hall on Saturday nights where a group meets for “The Dances”. She was an active member of the Miller United Methodist Church, the UMW, Miller Senior Citizens and the Prairie Rose Club. Janice was always lending a helping hand on the family farm. She would help with livestock, chores and always made sure there was a home cooked meal on the table for anyone to grab a bite when they came in from working on the farm. Janice also enjoyed being outside tending to her chickens, flowers and always had a full garden in the summertime. She did take up a few jobs outside of the home which included being a substitute cook at SEM Schools and also helping in the kitchen at Tub’s Pub in Sumner. Surviving relatives include her daughter, Pam and Terry Wempen of Sumner; son, Terry and Rhonda Pfeiffer of Amherst; brother, William “Bill” and Susan Muller of Miller; sister, Jean and LaVerne Deke of Kearney; 5 grandchildren; 9 great grandchildren; several other extended family and friends.
